The Colour With No Name 7 of 7

Dr Franklyn: ‘Go on … this is interesting’
Me: ‘ Welllll … for me, it’s the work to be done - and where the fissures and frissons of meaning might reside. For me that is the art – the providing of a context. It’s difficult, and many won’t get it – why should they – nevertheless, you do it as well as you can – you let all the bits and pieces of your armory have their moment or not, as they want, as you direct - then you let it be. Often things don’t work – but others like them – that’s why you have to let it bide – because we all have a common journey – and sometimes you can’t see it yourself – you have to let others have the time to say – ‘I see this’ without explanations all the time –without ones self interest.
I am not after all, painting The Golden Pond – or whatever it is, as a descriptive thing – I am painting something else; it’s neither better or worse – it’s just what I do. They look like ‘paintings’ of course because that’s the form - I’ve never been big on trying to make the ‘art object’ as such Doc, it’s people that count – but that is the place I am caught up in - the whole malfangled art market place thing,Which was ever so of course – and having picked up the ball I’m run with it, all over the field, beyond, and as far as I jolly well.’

Dr Franklyn: ‘ Very very good – I’m glad I watched Clint Eastwood the other night.
We aught to talk more about Harmonics and perhaps Masereel next time – I’ll get us another tea… or something stronger, I think you need it now.’
